    You notice that card makes black zombies :P Kinda odd that the embalmed cards loses its old colors, but keeps it's old creature types. Ie a blue merfolk when embalmed will be a Mono white, but it'll be a merfolk zombie. Also I'm not really getting why they become white. Is this because mummy...

    General Oh god it's my two least favorite topics in magic

    Keep an eye on canada in the near future, our current prime minister ran on a platform of electoral reform and is (predictably) walking back on it. So if we must get this back on track, how about specific planeswalker type answers: Here's a few obvious ones, but if there's a few people have...

    Some more through explinations are on the mothership: http://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/news/so-much-amonkhet-news-2017-03-27Interesting. Enbalm is unearth but a permanent token rather than the oneshot haste etc we know. Also it becomes a white zombie? eh why not. There's also some...

    Card/Deck Low Power Card Spotlight

    That will be a very interesting cube to populate in that everything HAS to cost 1 less. I wonder if at some point I'll hear you lamenting there isn't a shittier version of a card you like :p

    Maybe I'm just being naive, but I can't say this is where I thought this thread would end up :P Also, RE: USA:

    Man, when we were making fun of BTP, why did nobody notice their Tesseract project?

    General Custom Cards: The Lab

    Eternal is a bit above the curve from magic in general, so that probably explains the power. Good old famous 4 mana 5/6 vigilance all creatures lose flying

    General What is Temur doing for you?

    For reference, tombstalker realistically costs 4-5 :P

    Well, I'm likely going to regret this, but: https://www.mtggoldfish.com/articles/the-face-walker-problem So first things first: Saffron Olive is a great author, go check out his articles. However, this one is (In a veiled way) about MTG Finance and Standard, both topics I've never found...

    General What is Temur doing for you?

    One thing Grillo suggested to me was that ramp can be the unifying identity of the 3 colors, but that can be extremely hard to pull off. Here's what I've learned: Signaling people with your choice of mana rocks doesn't help. People do eventually see that Gruul Signet is still amazing in their...

    Yeah I ment snapcast as "Use Snapcaster to give flashback"

    Card/Deck Dusk / Dawn

    It has both names in all zones. Since it's a split card (though a horribly done one) it's essentially got two names, and things like meddling mage will only stop you from casting the respective half (Name Wear, for eg and you can cast Tear, but not fuse it) It's CMC is 4 & 5, which means you...

    The Dandy Cube (Chris Taylor's Cube)

    Not a lot of changes going on, just adding multicolor cards I'd been shaving so that I can draft with 10 people again, but my latest crusade is revisiting the artwork on my customs and seeing if I can do better. Not every card has a storied history in my cube, but here's a few I've swapped out...

    General What is Temur doing for you?

    Okay I haven't read any of this shit and it's too late for me to start now, but I've had success letting people branch out into 3 color by making all the pairs do overlapping things. Like if :u::r:, :r::w: and :u::w: are all spells decks, but they go about it in different ways, people catch on...

    Card/Deck Dusk / Dawn

    The translation on mythic spoiler (Feel free to correct me if you actually know the lamguage) says return to hand at the moment, I'm not sure this is really an unburial rights type card, more creeping renaissance which I'm far less excited about. Also quick hits: Love the concept, hate the...

    There's probably a limit to how many evolving wilds you can comfortably run before you're not just root maze-ing yourself. Maybe that's not something I want my drafters thinking about, but then again I also don't want people running 15 basic decks :P
